towards Kingston CYGK, at the NE edge of Lake Ontario.

they get onboard their flight. |
Few minutes before our CYTZ
departure a Mooney, belly landed gear up by mistake on rwy 08. I guess
the “three greens” prelanding check proves usefull quite often. |

East for Kingston CYKM in the Cessna |
At Hamilton CYHM, where Kyp &
Terry visited the Air Museum. They were the only ones who entered via

Cityscape at 1nm ahead of us on visual approach to CYTZ. Together with
Chicago Meigs, it must be one of the most stunning GA downtown airports. |
